Good morning. 😴⏰☕
7 July 2026
I got up this morning and immediately started doing things. I knew better. My first bright idea was to empty the paper shredder — a terrible decision at that hour — but I had a foolproof plan: flip the container upside down into a plastic bag. Well, never underestimate a fool. Half the confetti slid straight down my front and the rest sprinkled across the floor like a ticker‑tape parade gone wrong.
I still haven’t cleaned it up. I’m waiting for the rest of the household to wake before I fire up the vacuum. At this time of morning, it’s usually just Charlie and me shuffling around. C’est la vie.
Do auto manufacturers even make hubcaps anymore? I haven’t owned a car with hubcaps in decades. My teenage dream was a ’55 or ’56 Chevy with black rims and baby‑moon hubcaps — a fantasy from a long, long time ago in a state far, far away. Instead, I wound up with a beat‑up Chevy pickup that had “potential,” but potential costs money, and I had none. Any repair parts came from the junkyard down the street. I think the truck had two, maybe three hubcaps. Three sounds odd, but it matched the mismatched retread tires perfectly.
If someone drew a comic strip of that era, it would only need two frames: Dream and Reality.
Honestly, I’m shortchanging the story, because that truck did have an 8‑track tape player bolted under the dash — ready to blast rock and roll through two old bare speakers I wedged behind the seat. That part was pure glory.

😂 Oh, you poor soul, blaming #AI for your own blunders! It's 2023, and yet folks are still shocked when their "just one more test" code wipes their *entire* #database. Pro tip: next time, maybe don't give your AI agent the keys to the kingdom if you're going to cry foul when it actually uses them! 🗝️🔒

On the way to the gig I realized I didn't have the music stands. so when I got to the gig I called Neal and asked him to bring extra stands. Then I realized I didn't have the mixer. Called Neal and cancelled the call for music stands. Rushed back to the house (25 minutes) and grabbed the mixer case and the music stands. When I got back to the gig I found out that the mixer was not in the case.
We still played great.

Has it ever occurred to you that good times never make for great stories, but disasters... often... do? I'm mixing it up this week with a funny story... that wasn't so funny at the time. #mishaps #cars #oops #disaster #tesla #panic nonzerosum.games/nomatterwhereyougetto.html

Ah, the joys of #open source! 🤦♂️ #TARmageddon strikes with a #CVE number longer than a CVS receipt, proving once again that "free" code is never free from #hilarious mishaps! 🎉 Who knew #parsing #bugs could be this entertaining? 🙃

Man discovers that wearing a metal necklace during an #MRI isn't the best #fashion statement. 🤦♂️🔗 Spoiler: the machine won in a surprising twist of #magnetic fate. Maybe next time, read the #warning #signs instead of the BBC's endless geography lessons. 🗺️📚

Ah, the age-old tale of shell command antics 🤦♂️—where "bugs" are actually sacred relics blessed by the holy #POSIX scriptures 📜. Who needs progress when you can have a perpetual cycle of #mishaps and SQL injections masquerading as "features"? 🐛🔄

🎪🤡 Oh look, another riveting tale of how WWII relics played bumper cars at an air show and didn't survive the ride! Admiral Cloudberg courageously writes 59 minutes of "who's to blame" as if anyone's still asking why planes from the 1940s don't have airbags. 🚀💥

So I was sitting at my desk eating cereal for lunch ... and I just spilled milk and cereal all over my entire keyboard. No clue how much damage I've done.
BTW: have I mentioned that I WFH and my income depends on my desktop computer? And that I have no money to replace the keyboard if I've destroyed it?
Life is fun. #Sarcasm

Kommt einfach während der Bürozeiten (Mo–Fr, 12–14 Uhr) vorbei. Sonst hilft ein Blick auf http://open.wiai.de – häufig ist trotzdem jemand da, der das Fahrradwerkzeug, das LAN-Kabel oder Ähnliches verleihen kann. #wesupportyou #stuve #adventskalender #mishaps #bearup
